Does the Aaron Judge contract help other AL East teams like the Blue Jays?

Aaron Judge signed a nine-year, $360 million contract with the New York Yankees. It's the largest free agent contract in MLB history. The Texas Rangers welcome Jacob deGrom as their new ace. Tampa Bay Rays have been active in the AL East, adding free-agent starter Zach Eflin on a three-years,$40 million deal. Boston is reworking their bullpen and outfield, signing Kenley Jansen, Chris Martin and Joely Rodriguez. Red Sox's reported five- year, $90 million agreement with Masataka Yoshida might help them to replace the loss of Xander Bogaerts.

The Yankees have spent $411.5 million so far this offseason to sign Aaron Judge, Anthony Rizzo and Tommy Kahnle.

Yankees signed Aaron Judge to a $40 million AAVA contract. He will be 31 next year. Rizzo is already 33. The Blue Jays fans will love to see him play for many years. He tied the Maris home run record in a game at Rogers Centre in Toronto on September 28th off Tim Mayza.

The Yankees have spent over $400 million this offseason on free agents. Jameson Taillon signed with the Cubs, Miguel Castro with Arizona and Aaron Judge with New York. Keith Law believes that Aaron judge is unlikely to produce like a star and stay healthy even halfway through his contract. He is 6-foot-7 and has 400 plate appearances in a season after age 30. Only three players have reached the 400 appearances threshold: Dave Winfield, Dave Kingman and Giancarlo Stanton.
